Serving primarily disadvantaged youth and women, HSYWE strives to preserve tradition while simultaneously equipping its participants with the skills needed to thrive in the modern world.

The organisation is spearheaded by the Board Executive Committee and an Advisory Board and funded by the SV-BECSE Project of The Netherlands. Our team of socially responsible, concerned leaders is devoted to addressing the need for higher educational opportunities, vocational training, language skills, employment and cultural preservation among Nepal’s Himalayan communities. The services provided by HSYWE will ultimately build confidence, stimulate economic self-reliance, cultivate leaders and professionals, foster social uplift and uphold a treasured culture.

HSYWE headquarters are located in Tinchuli-Baudha in northeast Kathmandu, Nepal. In order to better serve a wider audience, HSYWE recently opened at another location, The Second Reading Room, in west Kathmandu’s Swayambhu area.
